Doing something you know how to do, earning money and then spending it with a pro will be orders of magnitude cheaper than trying to tackle it yourself.
So this is the wrong mindset.

If you want to learn how to do things, then you can start by reading the wiki. It will take you years, there's no quick fix.
The only quick way is paying someone.

Ok sorry it took me so long to reply.. between diagnosing everything with a buddy remotely and my kid pulling an exorcist throwing up for 4 days straight I have had my hands full lol.

So the setup is the
k04 turbo "Borg warner"
Audi 225 injectors
Amu head swap with vvt swapped over as well because it's the only head I could get my hands on.
AEM hybrid fuel pump 340l/p
Stock fpr,stock rail
Fmic

The place I ordered the ECU from was Lonestar tuned originally because I was having issues with my immobilizer

I never had the p0102 code before this ECU.
He talked to me about going ahead and setting up a basic tune for my parts installed and I was for sure cool with that.

When I got the ECU and installed it I had to change my soft coding with my obdeleven to get the car to start I'll include pics of what I am talking about.

The last few days we spent time flashing my buddies tune to the ECU since it's the same as his apparently and checking things with vag com as well.

No matter what the p0102 persists. He seems to think it may just be a faulty ECU or just not the right ECU for the car because I have ohm checked all the wiring changed out the maf checked everything possible per the service manuals.

The car itself runs great it just instantly throws the code the moment it's cleared.

Here are pics of the ECU read and soft coding changes.

My buddy Sam also said maybe it could be something to do with the eeprom but he has no idea how to mess with that so we didn't touch it. I might just try to get a different immo off ECU today he said that this model doesn't seem right for our cars.

Maf is most definitely installed correctly. It's not reading signal at all under live data.

But checks out in every way mechanically :-(. And yeah sam said he has never seen such a weird tune...
He said nothing at all made sense and ended up clearing it and flashing his own functional tune.. but even with that the code persists.

He told me I shouldn't have needed to change the soft coding at all when I got it. But it was the only way I could get the car to start. I basically copied the code that my stock ECU had and then the car started.

That's probably what I am going to do...he has ghosted me and tbh I don't wanna do business with him again.

You could always pull the ecu out and make sure none of the pins are bent to rule that out. Test another known good ecu in your car or test that ecu in another car. That should help pinpoint the exact issue.
